How to Find Major and Minor Chords All Over the Guitar. One of the keys to unlocking the guitar fretboard is being able to play the same thing in different places.

A great way to get started on this path is learning how to find every major and minor chord everywhere on the guitar. Don’t worry; it’s easier than it sounds. I’ll show you some patterns and tricks that will make switching chord voicings feel like second nature. Chord Components The first thing to keep in mind is that every major chord or minor chord requires only three notes.

The idea of Modal Pentatonics is to create a five note scale that retains the sound of the Mode.

Unfortunately there is no formula for working this out that we can apply to all Modes of the Major Scale to create the 7 Modal Pentatonics, instead we have to work out which 5 of the 7 notes are the most important to the sound of the scale and use these to try and retain the Modal Sound but by using 5, rather than 7, notes. The disadvantage is there is no 'hard and fast' rules for defining a Modal Pentatonic, it comes down to which notes you feel are most important in the scale. The advantage is, you can apply this concept to any scale to create different Pentatonic Scales e.g. Harmonic Minor Pentatonic, Melodic Minor Pentatonic, Dominant Pentatonics, etc.

Also, keep in mind that not everyone needs an audio interface. if you are only recording one track at a time or are recording more than one track but are fine with mixing it as you record you can use a much cheaper and oodles simpler analog mixing board/mixer. i struggled for over a year with a USB audio interface box i bought for home recording and it was ALWAYS a hassle - either really high latency, dropped sections, or it would take 15-20 minutes of fiddling with system prefs and settings in software to get it to work right. i finally went to my local music store and picked up a behringer analog mixer for $49 which has 8-Inputs (2 mic, 2 stereo, 1 stereo tape/CD), builtin EQ, effects send/receive, and the mic jacks have phantom power and the line inputs work great for electric instruments, a headphone out and I use an RCA-to-mini-1/8th-stereo plug to connect directly into the mic jack on my mac mini.
